A Mathematician Reads the NewspaperJohn Allen Paulos is a master at shedding mathematical lights on our everyday world: What exactly did Lani Guinier say about quotas? What is the probability of identifying a murderer through DNA testing? Which are the real risks to our health and which the phony ones? Employing the same fun filled, user friendly, and quirkily insightful approach that put Innumeracy on best seller lists, Paulos now leads us through the pages of the daily newspaper,
John Allen Paulos is a master at shedding mathematical lights on our everyday world: What exactly did Lani Guinier say about quotas?What is the probability of identifying a murderer through DNA testing?Which are the real risks to our health and which the phony ones?Employing the same fun-filled, user-friendly, and quirkily insightful approach that put Innumeracy on best-seller lists, Paulos now leads us through the pages of the daily newspaper, revealing the hidden mathematical angles of countless articles. From the Senate, the SATs, and sex to crime, celebrities, and cults, Paulos takes stories that may not seem to involve mathematics at all and demonstrates how mathematical na t (c)an put readers at a distinct disadvantage.Whether he's using chaos theory to puncture economic and environmental predictions, applying logic and self-reference to clarify the hazards of spin doctoring and news compression, or employing arithmetic and common sense to give us a novel perspective on greed and relationships, Paulos never fails to entertain and enlighten.Even if you hated math in school, you'll love the numerical vignettes in this book.Binding Type: Paperback

8oz Size Perfect for Small Amounts of Milk
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
This is a quality pitcher with a nice weight to it. I only use 80ml of milk in my cappuccinos and had trouble getting a good microfoam when using a larger pitcher. This little 8oz pitcher is the perfect size and makes it easier to achieve microfoam. The only potential issue I see is the pitcher may overflow if using more than 80ml although this may be due to my technique.

Pretty and functional
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Matte Black
I really liked the size and functionality of this milk pitcher, it’s really elegant looking as well. I use it for when I want to make an iced coffee that I need to mix stuff with and it holds a good amount of coffee. Easy to clean and pour as well, for what I paid I think it’s worth it.

Small, works with (some) induction units, just what I needed.
Size: 6.8oz/200ml Silver
It's small and the good thing about it is that it works with my induction (Nuwave Flex Precision, 1,300W.) Not perfectly, but will work. It doesn't work with my larger Duxtop (9600LS/BT-200DZ, 1,800W) because it is looking for more metal to sense before it can trigger the induction function.
So, if you have a smaller induction unit it might work. If not, get a CozyKit 5.5" induction diffuser (on Amazon) and heat it up on that via induction. That diffuser should work on any induction unit.
I guess we can't do links anymore even if on Amazon?? from attempting to post other reviews, so this is the text discr for the diffuser on Amazon, it's hard to find the smaller one otherwise:
